I am in Tuscany right now in particular Chianti for a Blogger for Social + Help and Birth event.

These two organizations are planning to build a library in Senegal to provide children/ students books, computers and internet.

I always believe that the best help we could give Africa is education. Not food. Not clothes. Not water. Because all of these things ran out but if you educate a child, they have more chances to survive or make a better life for their family.

I finally could put good use of whatever fame (haha!) i earned by doing this blog.

Blogger for Social believes in word-of-mouth advertising and in new media. For these reasons it asks to bloggers to write about its events, so that the message gets as far as possible. The whispering of many is stronger than the shout of a single, isn't it?

The internet is so bad in the hotel right now, so these are the only pictures i could upload.

Will post more tomorrow from the party as well!

Here´s a peek of our vintage car tour today, exploring more of chianti!

i am back home from sweden for less than 15 hours (7 of it spent sleeping) and already i am packing my other luggage for a trip to tuscany!what & why, i will tell you more the next days.it is something really meaningful to me and somehow i am so happy to be able to give back!

aside from being so tired and kinda traumatized from travelling, i am not BITCHIN!!life is a bully and i think it sometimes loves playing crazy pranks on me but yeah, we all still manage to stand up and go on!so wish me luck on this trip!

okay, so since you all loved the jacket from this post, i organized a giveaway with the amazing peeps from 5preview (which by the way is having a kick ass summer sale!) to give one of my readers one jacket!

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO:

tell me on the comment box why YOU have to win the jacket with your size and email address.

THAT´S ALL.

EXTRA: i would put your name twice on the bowl if you tweet (you don´t have to though!):

i would love to win the @5preview whatever jacket from @modejunkie here: http://bit.ly/Lfrj0K.

would really appreciate though if you could give me some love over my gazillion social networks!contest ends on wednesday, june 11!

apart from the fact that all swedish people (in my opinion) are beautiful and über cool,their midsommar parties are also a reason why i sometimes wish i was born in sweden. :)so since i am asian ALL THE WAY, i decided to wear my diy headband just for funand be swedish for a day!speaking of sweden, i am on my way for the peace and love festival!catch ya later kiddos!

an amazing story about this jacket:when i went to portugal some weeks ago, i spotted this jacket on a vintage stand on the festival site.i asked for the price. a bit expensive for my taste. i walked away.but i couldn´t for the love of god take it off my mind so i decided to look at it again and decide if it was worth the price.another girl was manning the stand so i asked again.she told me a price that was 1/3 of what the other lady told me.without thinking, i gave her the money and walked away happy!i hope the other lady didn´t kill her.LESSON LEARNED: never give up on something you really want! hahaunfortunately this doesn´t work for that alexander wang bag on shopbop which page i keep on refreshing but somehow always shows me the same friggin price.LOL

imagine having a 3 course dinner while playing fashion bingo with great wine, friends (Dustin, Josi, Jan and Maggie) and good music.now imagine you´re in a boat sailing along the Spree river in Berlin.that was exactly how my tuesday went.amazing, no?Zign and mint&berry invited me among other bloggers for a great night of food and fun!it was a perfect getaway from reality (read: work and stress).quick, but just the way i like it.

PS: if you have the chance, do visit my friend Josi´s blog (that´s her room on the pics).i would exchange my whole closet for her´s in a heartbeat!

imagine that you're 19, fell in love and got married to a german, flew your ass all the way to germany not speaking a single word deutsch, leaving everything you have behind in the philippines. now imagine, you're getting divorced after a year, lost all your faith in the good in people, found a great new boyfriend, moved together and got a job to pay the rent and credit card bills. now you're 27, you speak german, travel around the world and have a super cheeky but smart three year old baby boy! hi, welcome to my super fun world!
